You don't need to do a new channel scan, this is information that MythTV
determines from the stream at playback. Any changes they make will only
be reflected in new recordings. If they believe the problem is fixed and
you still see it, please make me a 15 second clip of the recording and
I'll take a look at it. Just use dd to copy a few megabytes from the
front of the file; it doesn't need to be exactly 15 seconds, just there
abouts.
